Rule of thumb is that if the GS employee doesn't have to fill out a financial disclosure form, their investing possibilities aren't limited.

That said, it can vary from agency to agency, and I'm sure some agencies such as FDIC likely have restrictions on employee investments.

Interviewed at a startup whose first process was a lengthy take-home assignment that could likely have taken >10 hours involving linear regression, recursive functions... I asked to speak to a recruiter first to get a sense of the role and team and had to go back-and-forth 3x before they finally sent me an invite to a 10 MINUTE call. So glad I trusted my gut and capped my time on the assignment to 3 hours because they rejected me with a boilerplate email -.-“

I've been at Capgemini for only 3 months as a Senior Consultant but I've been reached out by a recruiter from Accenture for a position that is similar what I'm currently in (SAP BRIM). I always felt that Accenture has a better grasp in the SAP industry and would actually have better opportunities for growth. I haven't really felt that Capgemini was the best move for me so far for this (outside of the money which was the primary reason why I jumped to them). Should I reach out for an interview?
